Written by Agent X - 25 Comments When I get an email from pro copywriter Dean Rieck , I’m always happy. I’m happier when he attaches a guest post – he’s a great writer full of good stuff to share. .&# One of the worst mistakes copywriters make is to assume their job is about writing. He’s a nice guy.

After all, the advice made sense: Have a blogging schedule, and stick to it. Write blog posts and publish them according to this rigid schedule and provide readers with a steady stream of constant blog posts. We were all new to this blogging thing. I know, because that’s what happened to my blog.

Let’s talk about your blog. You don’t know what to write, you don’t feel confident about what you DO write, and frankly, you’d rather not be blogging at all. You’re behind on your blogging schedule… and it’s been a while since you’ve written a post. One good blog post?

Years ago, I started this blog with a pretty big mission in mind: to help you succeed. My blog became popular. Worse was that I spent a lot of time writing for my blog, sharing good solutions, smart advice or better methods… but I wasn’t seeing many readers put the advice I shared to good use. My business got big. I got busy.

The other day a friend mentioned he had started a blog as a way to earn some money on the side. After writing for a couple weeks, they grow frustrated by the slow results and turn to other blogs for advice. Maybe they learn about copywriting or buy a custom design template, but it doesn’t help. Who cares about blogging?
